A link between the departments of Aveyron and Tarn, the Viaur Viaduct is above all a bold project carried out by the engineer Paul Bodin.
A real technical feat showcasing the new technologies of the time, this railway bridge, making the junction between the steep banks of the Viaur, is also of incredible beauty. The white metal structure blends beautifully with the natural scenery that surrounds it, that of the Viaur valley, deep and wild.
460 meters long, with an arch of 220 meters in balance at 116 meters above the river bed, this elegant and innovative steel construction, even surpassing the project of Gustave Eiffel.
From different points of view on the viaduct and thanks to the lights of your guide, the work of Paul Bodin will no longer have any secrets for you.
